The question of land acknowledgements is more complicated. Sachs disagrees that a land acknowledgement is an apolitical statement of fact, akin to saying that grass is green. A fact can be neutral, but the choice to invoke it at a specific time, and in a specific manner, can still be politically loaded. It is true that Charles III is King of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. But if university administrators started announcing this fact in a ceremonious fashion before campus events, most people on the left would view the gesture as reactionary—a performance of deference to the monarchy.
